I fear my last post on the round three thread has caused confusion, which is probably my own fault for writing something quickly before going out. Anyway, I tried to stress that embedding of videos within the BCB page is forbidden, and that you should instead post a link to the page containing the video. However, I've received more new lists with embedded links since then, as well as a PM from someone who thought he'd formatting his links wrongly, when he hadn't really.

So what do I need? Please don't embed videos so they appear within the post, by pressing the 'youtube' button; instead, follow martha's instructions:

You just type

[url=

then paste your link.

Then add a closing bracket and type the work "link" or "listen" or "play" or whatever you want to call it...

I think it unfair that anyone sending embedded lists should be allowed to continue. May I instead suggest that any losing lists from yesterday's posts be given a bye into the Q-F and that embedded lists, as well as those who were late with their submissions, be terminated with extreme prejudice!

This is a bit strong!

You mean you don't want them, right? it makes things difficult.

I really don't see why this is coming as a surprise to people; this is not a new rule, it was around before I took over! I'm just pointing out that the lists should be formatted in a certain way. What's your problem with this?

It's pretty clear from this thread that Coan is a guilty party and I know from personal experience that Jeff K will often include a little threatening note with each new five. Very unsavoury.

It really is amazing the amount of time running the Cup consumes and that's before you've reformatted people's lists by un-embedding youtube videos, linking unlinked clips and even retyping lists because the first ten had artist first but the next five had song first and the next five suddenly decided to use brackets instead of dashes.

I do miss it though.
